Hi there,
I am not sure if this is the right place for this question but let's have a look ;-)
I tried to insert a logo (.jpg or .png-image) within a cell element (2D drawing) in a cell library as raster attachment:
When I now place this cell element in another drawing the raster is missing ... Why??
I have attached the cell library as well as the logo image - each advise is very welcome!

You have to tell microstation where to find rasters in your configurations.. via a MS variable for your workspaces... if you dont like that approach then you cant use the raster manager to place it in the cell but have to use OLE embeded ie make the image part of the cell the resolution is not as good this way ..
The best way to to draw this in cad...
you should be able to obtain the vector version and what font was used via the graphic designer who made it ...
otherwise from inside the png file print to pdf high res and send to internet to scan to cad and it will come back as a vectorised DWG
ref this into mstn and trace the link work for the elk and the word ELK then try to match the font style for Hauser etc then its a DGN and just be a ref file and attached directly in the cell or merged into the cell.. so no pathing.

Even if I use a fully qualified path like I did? ("\\Datacenter\Speedikon\Workspace\ ...")
you have to go into the workspace config file and use the dialogue to path it for you but unless its a shared path config others wont find it..
its better to scan the image or convert the image to dxf ref it into mstn and trace the elk head and the block text
then place text from your local region fonts to match the smaller text exactly .. I dont have your fonts but I was able to download your jpg measure its size 14.5 x4.5cm
upload it to scan image to cad which down loads it back as dxf
then attached the dxf as ref and traced and region flooded the elk head and eye and the ELK text as lines again flood region colour 178 for the green fill
and BG fill underneath for the frame so it will mask for you .. all done
you can open it as dgn and add your local text font for the black text use colour 0
I did all this for you in about 1 hr including finding web site..
but through explanations you could rebuild it your self .. I suggest you use colour matching for the green via mstn itself and the raster... I just approximated the colours
looks pretty good to me.. oops I forgot open your cell ref attach my dgn scale to suit by points then merge the ref file into your cell
